Hey so I just saw your post about Fandom Police issues on real situations with incest, adultxminor and other shit. Which is really gross because why would you allow such ideas?
Especially since most of the fanfic was either to make bl because women (white women) specifically hated a certain woman with the main lead (like sinners and other fandoms with a black woman in love with the main character) as well as racism in the fandom works to replace black woman in certain fandoms?
Not saying they will all act like this but you do know you still have Minors around. Not just minor but also yt derange writers with serious issues that should not be encouraged right? Surely you've seen the pedo fics on AO3? This is not ok. Why would you allow that on your page?
I donât even know which post youâre referring to because there are hundreds of them, but if by âreal situationsâ you mean rpf then what I say is that it makes me uncomfortable but I donât think I can stop people from writing it, and I will not harass anybody because of it either when I can just choose to not read it. and if the person whoâs being written about wants it taken downâor if they want to somehow take legal actionâthen that is⊠not my business.
the entire second paragraph of your ask is just ?????? absolutely ridiculous. so what if women love yaoi. I am a woman. I love yaoi. Iâve been writing and reading about yaoi for years.
âwoman writes about mlm ships because they hate female charactersâ well if that bothers you so much then YOU write about what YOU want instead of shaming others FOR THE HOBBIES THEY DO FOR THEMSELVES.
also, no, I donât think women write about yaoi âbecause they hate female charactersâ. the same reason why people who love waffles donât automatically hate pancakes. but even if some of them hate female characters then hating fictional characters is still not a crime.
âitâs racist to ââ itâs fanfiction. itâs not an activism. whether or not a fanfic is racist depends entirely on the intention of the authors. and too bad that is something we will never know. but if itâs bothers you then filter it out. personally I have never seen anything that fits what youâve just described before, but when I do see something that bothers me, I either scroll past it or block/filter it out.
âBUT THERE ARE MINORSâ yeah well itâs their parentsâ jobs to teach them about whatâs appropriate and whatâs not appropriate for them to consume when theyâre on the internet. especially when most people already tag their warnings properly. fanfic writers are not anybodyâs babysitter. we donât have to censor ourselves to cater to the comfort of minors. thatâs not our job or responsibility.
âderanged writers with serious issuesâ HOW do you KNOW they are âderanged writers with serious issuesâ, exactly? because they write dark and taboo fanfiction? well in that case I am a deranged writer with serious issues and I am encouraging more people to be deranged writers with serious issues.
âsurely youâve seen pedo fics on AO3â no, because I donât go looking for it. but even if I do come across one, I just scroll past it because itâs not my thing. that does NOT mean I will harass anyone who writes or reads it. because the âvictimsâ of the âpedo ficsâ you talk about are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. they are FANTASIES, THOUGHT CRIMES THAT ARE NOT REAL. itâs not my business if strangers hurt FICTIONAL CHARACTERS. and no real person deserves to be shamed or harassed because they harm FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.
âwhy would you allow that on your pageâ the same reason AO3 allows taboo fanfics on their site. no censorship means nothing is censored. you cannot censor something that you hate. itâs either nothing is censored or everything is censored. and this blog is against censorship.
fanfiction is a form of creative writing, which is also a form of art, and art can be taboo and disturbing. it can be about topics that are socially unacceptable, morally wrong and disgusting, and as long as no one in real life is being harmed, as long as it stays fantasies, it deserves the rights to exist, whether or not you like it.
there are things that bother me, rpf, fanfics that portray an adult character and a child character in a romantic/sexual relationship and anything that involves pregnancy or childbirth make me uncomfortable. what I do is that I choose not to engage with them, I avoid them by filtering out tags and blocking things, instead of screaming at strangers to âstop creating things that make me uncomfortableâ. thatâs not how internet works.
itâs YOUR job to curate YOUR OWN internet experience.
donât make it other peopleâs responsibility to cater to YOUR personal comfort.
